1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:01,581
Disgusting animal!
2
00:00:02,492 --> 00:00:03,925
You're a disgrace!
3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:04,990
Shameful!
4
00:00:05,232 --> 00:00:06,972
You've ruined my reputation! Go to hell!
5
00:00:06,997 --> 00:00:07,797
Get out!
6
00:00:07,798 --> 00:00:08,598
Dad!
7
00:00:14,004 --> 00:00:20,340
Disgusting animal, get out!
Get the hell out!
8
00:00:20,341 --> 00:00:21,602
Dad! Stop it!
9
00:00:21,603 --> 00:00:23,541
Get out! Out! Disgusting animal!
10
00:00:23,542 --> 00:00:28,583
Dad! Stop hitting me!
11
00:00:29,919 --> 00:00:30,943
Dad!
12
00:00:43,266 --> 00:00:44,093
Stay where you are!
13
00:00:46,169 --> 00:00:47,261
Get back here!
14
00:00:48,238 --> 00:00:50,468
Get back here, animal!
15
00:00:51,074 --> 00:00:52,473
You're not my son!
16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:32,999
"Crystal Boys"
17
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,999

24
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:26,680
Lord Sheng! Welcome!
25
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,680
We were afraid we wouldn't have
the pleasure of your company.
26
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,980
I wouldn't have missed it even if I'd
had to come through a hailstorm!
27
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,720
Please sit first.
Please sit right here.
28
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,000
Have a seat.
29
00:02:43,025 --> 00:02:45,025
Sit.
30
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,760
Little Jade! Lord Sheng is here!
31
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,319
Bring brandy and a pack of
State Express. Hurry up!
32
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,800
Wait a minute!
33
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:56,940
Jinhai, it looks like you got your wish.
34
00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:00,518
You made it all happen.
35
00:03:00,518 --> 00:03:02,240
Here it is.
36
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,440
Lord Sheng is ravishing tonight!
37
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:11,400
Did you all hear that? He's got his
eye on these old bones of mine.
38
00:03:12,067 --> 00:03:14,415
You can't get more nutritious
bones than Lord Sheng's.
39
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,440
Feast on them and you're
guaranteed longevity.
40
00:03:16,814 --> 00:03:18,814
Ok...
41
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,240
With a naughty little boy like this, you
are sure to do a land-office business!
42
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,980
Thank you.
43
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,840
Keep it up and there'll be
good things in your future.
44
00:03:32,841 --> 00:03:35,520
If we have the pleasure of Lord
Sheng's company every night
45
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,051
there'll be all the good
things we could ask for.
46
00:03:38,980 --> 00:03:42,600
Thank you, Lord Sheng!
This guy is...?
47
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,240
You never met him before?
I'll introduce him to you.
48
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,300
He's Mr Long Wang [Dragon King],
captain of the Cuihua.
49
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,760
Ah! The Cuihua! He
has big influence.
50
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,160
His oil tanker steamed from
the Persian Gulf to Japan!
51
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,044
Really?
52
00:04:02,045 --> 00:04:03,575
Yes, it goes to Japan!
53
00:04:03,826 --> 00:04:07,145
Captain Long, I'm Little Jade.
54
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,320
Please give me an advice at this
first time we meet each other.
55
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,660
To give you an advice?
56
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,695
Master Yang, where have you found
a young man as pretty as him?
57
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,300
A pleasure for the eyes!
58
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:25,960
You like him, but this wild guy
comes from New Park, you know!
59
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,880
Are you busy? Have a sit and talk.
60
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,440
Where's the problem in that?
Little Jade, wait!
61
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,640
Little Jade... He's
an important man.
62
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,440
Take good care of him for me.
Don't let this fish get away.
63
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,160
Don't worry, Master. Once I get the Dragon
King's balls in my hand I won't let go.
64
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,060
You're such a...
65
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,240
Mr Long...
66
00:04:53,566 --> 00:04:54,805
Sit.
67
00:04:54,831 --> 00:04:56,325
I'll serve you a drink.
68
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,700
Please drink.
69
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,000
To let you give me to drink, is it right?
70
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,040
It's right! Looking at you,
you certainly want a glass!
71
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080
Or if you want some from
my mouth, it's fine too.
72
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,680
This kid is funny!
73
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:46,680
There was high excitement and
stimulation there. Alcohol was in the air.
74
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,280
In the Cozy Nest, we formed
little groups or paired off,
75
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,620
whispering, pouring out our hearts,
76
00:05:56,180 --> 00:05:59,263
telling secrets of which the outside
world was totally ignorant.
77
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:03,580
Even the pain, sorrow,
melancholy, and remorse
78
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:07,400
hidden deep down in individual hearts
79
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,800
gave way to all the laughter,
the banter, the madness,
80
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,018
and, of course, the wild music
that was covering the place.
81
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,540
Papa Fu, why are you the
one who open the door?
82
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,300
And Auntie Wu?
83
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,440
The day before yesterday, when
she was at the grocery shopping
84
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,720
she fell and broke her leg.
85
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,160
The doctor said she has to stay off
it for a month. She didn't agree.
86
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:00,280
I had no choice but ask her
family to come and took her home.
87
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,800
How could you find time to come?
88
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Papa Fu, it's nothing to
pay my respect to you.
89
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,060
Papa Fu.
90
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,160
A-qing, how's work?
Are you tired?
91
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,640
I'm fine, Papa Fu. I've
bought food very fresh.
92
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,920
If you have time
Papa Fu can go shopping.
93
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,360
You think?
94
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,080
I'm old, you know. I'm afraid
these places are too noisy.
95
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,320
Come inside and take a seat.
96
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,600
I'm coming...
97
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,400
What were you doing just before?
98
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,280
Auntie Wu was not here these days.
99
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,200
Tables, chairs got dust.
100
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,920
It was offending to my eyes. I was
just starting doing some clean-up.
101
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Papa Fu, listen to me.
Your health is not good.
102
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,040
You should not do physical tasks.
103
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,320
If you have an accident,
it wouldn't be fun.
104
00:08:20,583 --> 00:08:24,800
Whatever is the task
to be done, call us.
105
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,080
There's no need to do it by yourself.
106
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:32,640
Look at yourself. You talk about
me like if I have become useless.
107
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,800
I still can do these small tasks.
No need to bother people with that.
108
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,720
People? Papa Fu, you
treat us as strangers.
109
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:50,040
Look, we'll support you, we
can work like slaves for you.
110
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,009
A-qing, hurry up! Clean this
table and clean the floor.
111
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:55,639
OK.
112
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,120
Thank you, A-qing.
113
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,038
My pleasure, Papa Fu.
114
00:09:01,064 --> 00:09:02,905
Let him do this...
115
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,482
Papa Fu, I see you're now doing everything.
I really don't feel well about it.
116
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,400
Tell me what you
think about it.
117
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:20,360
A-qing is young, reliable and experienced.
I'll ask him to stay here.
118
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,160
He'll replace Auntie Wu
to serve you.
119
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,000
You need not! A-qing is
working during the evenings!
120
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:37,120
Eighteen-nineteen years old kids are
robust like a bull. They can't be tired.
121
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:48,040
I don't want to bother you with this,
but I appreciate your kind offer.
122
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,360
To be honest with you,
123
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,720
the fact is A-qing has been recently driven
out by his landlord. He has nowhere to go.
124
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:06,840
Papa Fu, if you don't mind,
you could take this poor kid.
125
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,680
A-qing, is it true?
126
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:23,240
It's true... Papa Fu, my lanlord has
risen the price for the rent.
127
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:30,720
I couldn't afford that. If Papa Fu gives
me shelter, it would be perfect for me.
128
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,680
So that's why...
129
00:10:45,220 --> 00:10:47,160
Ok.
130
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,560
I only worry that a young man
living with a rotten elderly
131
00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,160
in this old house,
won't get used to it.
132
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,440
It can't happen, Papa Fu!
133
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,440
When this kid has left home he
just drifted himself outside.
134
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,000
If Papa fu gives him a shelter,
it's going to be his good fortune.
135
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,040
A-qing, thanks Papa Fu.
136
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,200
Thanks, Papa Fu.
137
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,800
Don't forget your harmonica.
138
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,840
Thanks.
139
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:53,160
You can leave now.
140
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,720
What?
141
00:12:00,947 --> 00:12:05,980
It's not easy to find salvation and live
in a big house. You don't wanna go?
142
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,180
No... I'm leaving.
143
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:16,530
Older Sister, we're leaving.
144
00:12:16,531 --> 00:12:18,680
We'll see Uncle leaving.
Tell Uncle bye bye.
145
00:12:18,681 --> 00:12:19,681
Bye bye!
146
00:12:20,101 --> 00:12:21,201
Louder.
147
00:12:21,202 --> 00:12:22,242
Bye bye!
148
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,280
Bye bye!
149
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,640
Give a kiss to Uncle, OK?
150
00:12:25,641 --> 00:12:26,941
A kiss.
151
00:12:26,966 --> 00:12:28,566
OK.
152
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,280
Bye bye!
153
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,680
Bye bye!
154
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,920
A-qing.
155
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,246
Don't consider Moon Beauty like a stranger.
When you have time, come here again.
156
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,480
OK.
157
00:12:47,815 --> 00:12:48,615
Bye bye!
158
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,240
Bye bye!
159
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:08,000
This was my son's room.
160
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:16,000
These things were all his.
161
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,160
Feel free to use them.
162
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,360
I ought to take them out and air them.
They smell like mildew.
163
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,120
A-qing, you're about the
same size as Fu Wei.
164
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,080
You can wear these clothes if you'd like.
165
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,840
That's okay. I've got my own.
166
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,240
Winter clothes too?
167
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,800
Come here and try this.
168
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,720
Not bad, except the sleeves
are a little too long.
169
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,880
A-wei's clothes... I
gave away most of them.
170
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,640
This is all I kept, but it's enough
to get you through the winter.
171
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,100
Thank you, Papa Fu.
172
00:14:50,680 --> 00:15:01,080
A-qing. Make yourself at home here. I
don't want you to feel ill at ease.
173
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:11,260
It's late now. Go take a
shower and go to bed.
174
00:15:11,385 --> 00:15:12,985
Ok.
175
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,719
Good night, Papa Fu.
176
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,360
Good night!
177
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,280
Maybe it was because it was my first night
there, I had trouble getting to sleep.
178
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,160
In the next room door over, it
sounded Papa Fu was restless too,
179
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,560
since he got up two or three
times to go to the bathroom.
180
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,280
I heard his slippers
shuffling across the floor.
181
00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:56,680
Pacing back and forth,
again and again.
182
00:17:20,820 --> 00:17:24,840
Mom left home two years ago.
I was living in the dark.
183
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:33,160
I often heard Father at home pacing
back and forth with so much impatience,
184
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:40,440
like an animal trapped in a cage,
tossing and turning without end.
185
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,640
Papa Fu.
186
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,440
You got up!
187
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,126
You were sleeping so soundly I
didn't have the heart to wake you.
188
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,560
Sorry, I overslept.
189
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,720
It doesn't matter.
190
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,720
Papa Fu, are you hungry?
I'll make lunch.
191
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,280
Ok. Make it simple.
Noodles will be fine.
192
00:18:28,442 --> 00:18:29,942
OK
193
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:53,360
Auntie Wu always put things
where I can't find them.
194
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:10,840
I remember she always put the
noodles at the top shelf.
195
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,498
Here. Let me do it, Papa Fu.
196
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:23,960
She was afraid cockroaches would get
to them, so she put them up there.
197
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:30,360
But cockroaches have wings,
so that doesn't do any good.
198
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:42,720
You are no stranger
to a kitchen.
199
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,920
Since I went to night school I
was at school during the night.
200
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,920
So I did most of the cooking at home.
201
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:57,080
Noodles was Father's favorite, too, so we
had them a lot, mixed with meat sauce.
202
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:23,160
I heard you saying your father was a
commander during the War of Resistance.
203
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,675
Yes, but when he came back to Taiwan
he was drummed out of the service
204
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,120
because he'd once been taken prisoner.
205
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:37,080
Do you know what army he was in?
206
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:46,440
I'm not sure, but I remember him
saying his army was called Zhang Kan.
207
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:56,840
Oh... Zhang Kan's army... They did
themselves proud at the War of Resistance.
208
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,560
They especially fought a
great battle at Changsha.
209
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:14,920
That army ran into some bad luck.
210
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,800
Who else is there in your family?
211
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,960
No one else.
212
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,360
My mother and my little
brother are both dead.
213
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:47,400
Your Master told me you and
your father had a falling out.
214
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:05,120
Your father just blew up.
215
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:14,240
Time will take care of that.
You ought to go see him.
216
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,000
A-qing.
217
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,520
You get a place to stay at Papa Fu's house.
Everything's fine?
218
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,200
Everything's fine. Papa Fu is good
toward me. I even sleep in his son's room.
219
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,360
Look. You stay at Papa Fu's house, you
have a shelter and a place to eat.
220
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,320
In other words, that's paradise.
Right?
221
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:26,320
Use your head. Be fast on your feet. Get
things done. Don't make the Master lose face.
222
00:23:26,340 --> 00:23:27,880
I know, Master.
223
00:23:27,917 --> 00:23:31,360
Before I came over here, I already mopped
the floor and cleaned his kitchen.
224
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,520
I even made lunch for him.
225
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,724
A new latrine doesn't
stink the first few days!
226
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:44,320
I hope you can put your heart into
taking care of the old fellow.
227
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,520
Try to sleep a little
lighter at night.
228
00:23:49,135 --> 00:23:50,135
I know.
229
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,720
If I hear one bad word from Papa
Fu, I'll find somebody else.
230
00:23:54,745 --> 00:23:56,339
Ok.
231
00:23:56,740 --> 00:23:59,120
If you're looking for
somebody else, how about me?
232
00:23:59,121 --> 00:24:01,140
You?! Forget it right away!
233
00:24:01,220 --> 00:24:07,440
Save your silver tongue and cute moves
for that old butterfly Lord Sheng.
234
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,040
Papa Fu is too respectable.
I'm not buying it.
235
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,078
I can make myself respectable... more
than anybody! Don't you know that?
236
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,180
If I went over and
took care of Papa Fu,
237
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,896
I wouldn't be surprised if I was
more filial than his own son!
238
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,534
Forget it! You've got an important
job of your own right now.
239
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,840
Captain Long's worth a lot and
he likes you pretty much.
240
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:34,240
Treat him well each
time he comes.
241
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,600
Give him whiskey as much as he wants...
and snacks.
242
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:39,860
Get it.
243
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,960
Good.
244
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,580
Why do we have to treat him better?
245
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,040
You don't know what the
Master has in mind.
246
00:24:46,060 --> 00:24:50,400
He wants me to seduce him so that Captain
Long could bring imported liquors here.
247
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,920
Taking advantage of him.
248
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,620
You...
249
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,480
You think you understand everything?
250
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,415
How can you talk about it that way?
How you could be so petty-minded?
251
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,680
Petty-minded kid!
252
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,260
Mousey!
253
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,000
Mousey! Mop the floor,
it's very dirty here.
254
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,140
Mousey!
255
00:25:20,615 --> 00:25:21,515
Here.
256
00:25:21,515 --> 00:25:22,355
Thanks.
257
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,941
The infamous Pacific Liner,
have you ever heard about it?
258
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,000
No, I have not.
259
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,840
This story is about its
37th winter and last run.
260
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,320
The boat was steaming from
Shanghai to Hong Kong.
261
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,600
At that time, it was packed by rich people.
262
00:25:51,470 --> 00:25:55,360
Most of them had on
themselves gold and diamonds.
263
00:25:56,564 --> 00:25:59,695
Who would have guessed that once the
boat was sailing out of the harbor,
264
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,407
the boat would mysteriously struck
a reef and sank to the bottom...
265
00:26:03,895 --> 00:26:04,719
Really?
266
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,160
Not a single person on
board had survived!
267
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,860
They all died!
268
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,400
But haven't you told me you
were third mate on this boat?
269
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:18,640
They met the real
Dragon King of the Sea.
270
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,000
But our Dragon King
escaped with his life!
271
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Just before the ship sailed,
272
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,240
I was on deck supervising sailors
who were loading some freight.
273
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,560
Suddenly my feet slipped
out from under me,
274
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,280
like someone behind me
had given me a shove,
275
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:46,000
and bang! My head would hit
the steel railing. I lost consciousness.
276
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,200
When I came to and opened my eyes again...
277
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,280
Boy! How could you control
yourself in this situation?
278
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:56,660
What's happened?
279
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,440
The sailors on the deck... they
all had their head cut off!
280
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,720
With the sight of this abnormal
situation, I got off the ship quickly.
281
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,600
I was saved from oblivion.
282
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,280
It's frightening, I don't
want to hear about it more.
283
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,740
What's wrong?
284
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,840
This damn Captain Long told a
ghost story to scare people.
285
00:27:26,615 --> 00:27:29,520
How could I know this
sweetheart was a coward!
286
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,760
Captain Long, sit down.
287
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,460
Have you done your investigation or not?
288
00:27:38,461 --> 00:27:41,910
It's all set. He said we should
never run short of goods.
289
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,247
He'll pay for us a close attention
to any boat arriving at the harbour.
290
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,300
Tell me when you'll have news about it.
291
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,460
I'll discuss business with him.
292
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,920
Captain Long, I offer you a cup.
293
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,220
I offer you this one.
294
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,160
You take care of our Little Jade.
295
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,020
Oh yes!
296
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,720
Cheers! I'll drink first.
297
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:11,840
Auntie Wu.
298
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:14,720
You're A-qing, aren't you?
299
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,075
Yes I am... Auntie Wu,
is your injury better?
300
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,040
Better, really better. Have Papa
Fu gone to the orphanage again?
301
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:24,420
Yes.
302
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,360
He's my son, Ding Chang.
303
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:29,220
Hello.
304
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,260
Hello.
305
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,640
Wait here for me.
306
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,560
I really blame myself not
having taking care of Papa Fu.
307
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,640
A-qing, thank you.
308
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,308
No need to thank me, Auntie Wu.
309
00:28:46,495 --> 00:28:49,040
Papa Fu also said you always
took care of him so hard
310
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,070
that taking a rest
was the best for you.
311
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,160
No, no. I'm really grateful to you...
Extremely grateful.
312
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,760
My pleasure.
313
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,440
When Young Master had left this world...
314
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:10,280
Papa Fu was like that...
alone... All alone.
315
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,360
He was really miserable.
316
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,240
And now there's you, young
kid, who accompany him.
317
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,780
He's certainly really happy.
318
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:32,520
Oh! Next month the seventh
he'll get seventy years old.
319
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,680
More than 10 years have passed I think
I'll cook longevity noodles for him.
320
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,720
He doesn't want
anything special.
321
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,600
A-qing, talk with the Master about it to do
something for his 70 years old birthday.
322
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,800
Everyone could give him good time.
323
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,920
Ok I'll talk about it with the
Master for sure. We'll give him good time.
324
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,960
Come with him, Auntie Wu!
325
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Me? I don't want to go.
326
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:05,280
If he learn it's me who told you, he'll
be pouting for at least one month.
327
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,400
No thanks.
328
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,440
I was at the food market this morning.
I bought two good perches.
329
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,880
I'll give him ginger soup to recover a bit.
Once ready, I'll put it right here.
330
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,240
That won't bother you.
I'll prepare some now.
331
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,860
Can I help you?
332
00:30:21,885 --> 00:30:23,285
OK.
333
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,340
Come here quickly.
334
00:31:24,020 --> 00:31:26,073
You can. There's no
problem to drink alcohol.
335
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,641
Where do we put these things?
336
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,240
What?
337
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,861
Papa Fu should have just
returned from the orphanage.
338
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,100
He's sleeping!
339
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:40,960
Don't make noise!
340
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,280
A-qing, first, put these things down.
341
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,980
He's waking up.
342
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,280
Papa Fu, sorry. We wake you up.
343
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,320
What are you guys doing?
344
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,720
A few days ago, A-qing told
us that today was
345
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,440
Papa Fu's seventieth birthday, it's
an important day today.
346
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,880
So, with the kids, I just
prepared some food and wine
347
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,920
and we went here to celebrate
Papa Fu's birthday!
348
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,840
Yang Jinhai, this is too much.
349
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:28,280
You know I don't go in
for this kind of thing.
350
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,880
Papa Fu, don't blame me.
It's all these kids' idea.
351
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:34,479
They said today is a special day.
352
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,698
They insisted on coming
over to pay their respects.
353
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,000
I couldn't have stopped
them if I'd wanted to.
354
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,880
Business has been good
for the stores around.
355
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:52,120
And all this stuff for me...
That's so much trouble!
356
00:32:53,820 --> 00:32:55,959
That gave difficulties to these kids.
357
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:02,280
No! If it wasn't Papa Fu's birthday, would
the Master have given us a day off today?
358
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,000
All right!
359
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:14,040
You've been pretty busy lately,
so it's time you sat down tonight
360
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,040
for a good meal, some wine, and
some well-deserved relaxation.
361
00:33:18,041 --> 00:33:19,360
Wonderful!
362
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,020
Thanks, Papa Fu.
363
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,160
What kind of thanks it is! Hey! Kowtow
and pay your respect to Papa Fu!
364
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,560
Papa Fu, 70 years old
are not a small thing!
365
00:33:30,561 --> 00:33:32,639
The protocol can't be small, right?
366
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,860
Kneel down and kowtow!
367
00:33:34,860 --> 00:33:36,740
Papa Fu, I'm an unrefined person.
368
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,360
I don't have any literary talent,
so I just wish to Papa Fu:
369
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,960
Have a great fortune!
370
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:46,000
Kowtow! Happy Birthday!
371
00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:48,100
Enough.
372
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,480
Ok, we're going to work now.
373
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,480
Little Jade, go take the food
and put it on the table.
374
00:33:54,505 --> 00:33:59,560
Here. Steam the longevity peach buns first.
We want to take longevity wine.
375
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,157
A-qing, wait a moment, you'll
help Papa Fu to get up.
376
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,414
We'll drink longevity wine.
377
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:04,640
I'll take longevity wine with me.
378
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,240
Papa Fu, drink some wine.
379
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,440
Drink a couple of cups.
380
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,080
Papa Fu, I'm helping you to go.
381
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,240
I frequently ask A-qing
382
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,120
how things are going at the Cozy Nest.
383
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:23,080
He tells me it's full from
nine nights out of ten.
384
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,000
At this rate, you shouldn't have
any trouble staying in business,
385
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,160
and that makes me very happy.
386
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,200
I'll tell you the truth, Papa
Fu, you blessed our tavern
387
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,560
from the very beginning by
picking the perfect name.
388
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,640
And I'll say this from
the bottom of my heart.
389
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,280
This past month, these
kids have worked hard.
390
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,280
Papa Fu...
391
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:57,240
Yang Jinhai, none of that nonsense...
392
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,600
Sit down and eat.
393
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:01,680
Sit Down!
394
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:03,960
Papa Fu, no nonsense.
395
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,240
I only have one thing to say, can I?
396
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:08,160
Papa Fu.
397
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,280
We owe our good fortune
at the Cozy Nest to you.
398
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,320
So this cup of wine serves two purposes:
399
00:35:15,322 --> 00:35:18,842
First, to wish you a long and happy life,
400
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,348
and second, to celebrate the
success of the Cozy Nest.
401
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,480
May our business prosper! Good luck!
402
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,320
Papa Fu, drink with us.
403
00:35:26,345 --> 00:35:30,445
Ok.
404
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,880
Sit down.
405
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:45,800
Good.
406
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,428
Papa Fu can really put it away!
407
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,560
I used to drink a little.
408
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,080
Back on the Mainland,
409
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:04,680
I drank my share of sorghum spirits.
I gave it up after I got sick.
410
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:10,840
But tonight, just seeing how excited
you all are, I joined you.
411
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:21,280
Yang Jinhai, it seems that a
kid is missing... Wu Min?
412
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,160
Wu Min...
413
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,117
Not long ago, Wu Min went back to
his own village with his father.
414
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,520
Ok.
415
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:46,400
This kid had suffered too much...
To be with his father is a good thing.
416
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,400
Right...
417
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,400
Why are you so silent now?
418
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,560
Don't restrain yourself! Enjoy
your time as much as possible.
419
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:02,720
Yes.
420
00:37:02,745 --> 00:37:04,319
Ok.
421
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,240
Mousey, let's play the finger game.
422
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,578
Ok, nobody is afraid of you.
423
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,480
I won, you drink your whole cup now.
424
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,240
Why should I drink if I've lost
only one round? Two out of three!
425
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,840
Who want to play your sissy rules?
A full cup for every round.
426
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:29,400
Come on,
427
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:29,800
hurry up!
428
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:30,600
Come on.
429
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:31,800
Drink up!
430
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,680
I don't wanna drink. I want to eat.
431
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:34,280
Do you wanna drink or not?
432
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,240
I don't want it!
433
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,480
Drink up!
434
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:37,560
Ah!... you!
435
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:38,320
I'll take care of you!
436
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:38,920
Sure you'll drink for me!
437
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:39,600
I don't want it!
438
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:40,720
You'll do this for me.
439
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,280
Sure you'll drink for me!
440
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:42,880
You've lost.
441
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:43,240
I don't want it.
442
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,360
Enough!
443
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,520
What are you shouting about?
444
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,880
Master, you'll figure out.
He's a rascal.
445
00:37:49,835 --> 00:37:55,520
You made Papa Fu having such a face now.
Naughty you! You should eat instead.
446
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,280
Papa Fu.
447
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,200
Papa Fu.
448
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:14,840
Are you tired?
449
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,040
I'm getting old.
450
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,680
I can't even handle one
cup of wine anymore.
451
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,840
I'm going in to lie down.
452
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,040
Keep the party going.
453
00:38:35,265 --> 00:38:36,865
Ok.
454
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,000
A-qing, help him.
455
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,200
I don't mind if you make noise.
456
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:51,800
Ok... take a rest now.
457
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,440
A-qing, go join your friends.
458
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,160
Look at you! This happens because
of you both were screaming,
459
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,760
screaming until Papa Fu
could not bear it anymore!
460
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,200
A-qing.
461
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,600
Papa Fu.
462
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,120
Come here.
463
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,440
Are you tired?
464
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,980
No, I'm not.
465
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,200
Sit down. I'll tell you a story.
466
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,120
I'll tell you the story of a father.
467
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,120
The sad story of a father.
468
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:50,840
If A-wei were alive today...
he'd be thirty-seven.
469
00:40:53,960 --> 00:41:02,920
His mother died not long after
he was born. She was a frail woman.
470
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:11,240
He was an only child, and a motherless one,
471
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,120
so I can't be blamed for
loving him too much.
472
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:20,360
I was strict and...
473
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:28,320
he was never disappointing me.
474
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:39,080
He always had to be on
top, and he was arrogant.
475
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:49,040
Academically and militarily, he always
wanted to be better than others.
476
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,960
He graduated from the military academy.
477
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,880
At this time, there were
250 students in his class.
478
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:03,720
He was at the top of them.
479
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,560
He was highly praised by
his commanding officer.
480
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:13,520
His commanding officer told me A-wei
was perfectly suited to the military.
481
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,560
Not long after he was
made a platoon leader,
482
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,640
he was assigned as a drill instructor.
483
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,240
I went to his training
camp once as an observer.
484
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,680
A-wei was extremely competent.
485
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,200
He was using both kindness and severity,
486
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,760
and was doing things with great enthusiasm.
487
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:49,400
Every soldier in his platoon
worshipped their platoon Leader Fu.
488
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:56,040
With a son like this, what
more could I ask for?
489
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,620
I was proudly his father.
490
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:05,200
Words couldn't express my happiness at
that time over having a son like that.
491
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:11,520
I was content in the knowledge
that the twenty years I'd spent
492
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:17,680
bringing him up hadn't been wasted.
493
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,220
Open it.
494
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,960
You are now a platoon leader.
It'll be useful to you.
495
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,193
Don't let your commander
officer down.
496
00:43:50,218 --> 00:43:51,718
Yes.
497
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,080
Thanks Dad!
498
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:05,840
But, A-wei only lived to be twenty-five.
499
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:16,880
His death was so tragic,
inglorious and unnecessary.
500
00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:21,800
Something happened at his second
year as a platoon leader.
501
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:28,160
One night, when the commanding
officer was making his rounds,
502
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:38,000
he discovered A-wei in bed with
one of the reserve soldiers.
503
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,600
They were doing something unspeakable.
504
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:52,840
I collapsed when the
news reached me.
505
00:44:55,240 --> 00:45:01,880
How could A-wei, whom I'd
raised to adulthood by myself,
506
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:07,320
the son I loved and revered,
507
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,680
a young man perfectly
suited to the military,
508
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:22,440
do something so shameful, so despicable,
and with one of his own soldiers?
509
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,480
I immediately wrote him a long letter,
510
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:39,720
condeming his actions in the
strongest possible language.
511
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,040
Majestic! Formidable!
512
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,440
Solemn! Honorable!
513
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,880
Noiseless! Strong!
514
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,800
Papa Fu, Young Master...
515
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,600
I won't answer!
516
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,880
Young Master, Papa Fu, he...
517
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,320
He said he doesn't want to
answer your phone call.
518
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,240
Do your own work.
519
00:47:09,801 --> 00:47:11,101
Hello.
520
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,620
Dad, happy birthday.
521
00:47:21,220 --> 00:47:23,440
I'll appeared in court tomorrow.
522
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,135
The commander said he could made an
exception for me and I could
523
00:47:27,136 --> 00:47:28,239
pay you a visit.
524
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:31,800
No need. You'll come
home to do what?
525
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:38,160
Since you'd broken a military law you had
to stay in camp and think things out
526
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,573
while you awaited the court's verdict.
527
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:49,660
Dad, I know you wouldn't like to forgive
me. I feel ashamed to have done this.
528
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000
But I beg you to let me see you...
is it OK?
529
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,440
You can hit me, you
can call me names...
530
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:06,320
His voice was shaky and hoarse
on the other end of the phone.
531
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,540
He wouldn't stop crying.
532
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:16,880
He didn't sound at all like the son I knew,
this valiant young military officer.
533
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:24,000
My anger grew
534
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:31,040
and my feelings toward him
turned to revulsion and disdain.
535
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,840
You can't cry!
536
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:39,880
Are you still a man?
Assume your acts!
537
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,840
No matter what you say I
don't want to see you!
538
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,660
Did you hear me?
539
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:34,240
It was the day of my fifty-eighth birthday.
540
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:43,320
This arrogant and
responsible son, Fu Wei...
541
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:51,680
He'd used his revolver to end his life.
542
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:00,080
A-qing.
543
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,560
You've been living
with me these days.
544
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,560
I've been accepting you like one of my own.
545
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:18,320
Even if your father in the heat of the
moment had driven you out from your home,
546
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:30,720
I believe he feels like me...
toward his loved son now...
547
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,120
He'd suffered greatly.
548
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,840
Looking over Papa Fu's bent back
549
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,200
I suddenly remembered Father
in a mid-automn evening...
550
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,880
That time when he pinned his Order
of the Precious Tripod on my lapel...
551
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,600
so seriously, so grandly...
552
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,100
In the months since I'd left home,
553
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,480
my knowledge of
the terrible agony he was enduring
554
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,720
pressed down more and
more heavily on my heart.
555
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:53,200
Sometimes I really felt
I was not sent to exile
556
00:53:54,208 --> 00:53:56,320
but it was I who deliberately
escaped from home.
557
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,000
A grief that I could not assumed.
558
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,335
I was like my mother. We both
had no courage and were suffocating.
559
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:10,360
We couldn't bear to see the look
of anguish on his devasted face.
560
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:18,000
